Was thinking this might be fun to do, going back on old video games that meant a lot to me, ones that I haven't thought or played in years, the good times, laughs and scares these wonderful entertainment devices provided.

As many of these games are old ones I have played to points that they are burned into what is left of my fractured memory, I will be doing these maybe once a week depending on how it goes. If you've played them, let me know I'm sure we'll have lots of fun discussing things here.

Just one rule I'd prefer, let's not go running to Wikipedia or other sites for 'Oh My God' accurate information. This is a testament to memories and a time before information on games was so readily available, when grit, determination and broken control pads saw us through. If you remember things I don't about a game, tell me! Maybe it will jog some lost memories!

So without further ado, we go onto the first (and hopefully not last) game...
Drum roll....

Galerians!!

Following in the footsteps of psychic phenomena, you awake in a laboratory a young early teens boy with machines and needles hooked up. A brief 'awakening' to your powers destroys the machines, read the mind of a scientist killing him in the process and then left to work out what's going on!

Through the use of a 'beeject' a device used to inject fluid drugs into your neck (Which by the way had the coolest animation ever) you gain an assortment of psychic attacks to help fend off soldiers, monsters and other children gone through the same process. However use it too much and the damage to your psyche causes a state of uncontrolled release. Only able to walk slowly, losing health but emitting waves that paralyze any enemy that gets too close, this effect could only be cured by using..more drugs!

Tablets, injections..wicked characters, this game had it all. Right down to the fight with The Birdman, a tall thin male with different colored eyes and the ability to replicate himself and fly, to Pegasus, the 'original' attempt which looks a lot like your character. I doubt you'll find a game like this that encouraged children to take as many drugs as possible to try and find the right combination for psychic abilities!

I believe this was on the PS console and like all new games, had amazing WTF graphics which are probably obsolete by now. However I don't really want to jump on YouTube to look for it, the way I remember this game is a perfect example of fun and excitement that will live on forever!

Wow, that went a lot longer than I thought it would, this was a very dear game to me and to anyone else that played it, I hope you remember it as I do. So let's hear your thoughts, comments, questions I'll try to answer to the best of my memory and if you enjoyed hearing about an old game, or learning about a game you've never heard of, let me know and I'll rifle the ol' memory banks for another!
